Had an awesome time with friends! The spa was a highlight, and the pantry concept is a fantastic touch. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and tasty meals at both the Asian restaurant and the cozy pub nearby.
We did have some frustration with the slow service during breakfast, which made our mornings a bit rushed. It was a busy time, so perhaps more staff could help alleviate that.

Such poor service during busy dining hours!!! Noise disturbances from nearby events can ruin any relaxation you seek.

The Retreat's elegant Georgian architecture and tasteful decor made me feel like I was in a delightful Jane Austen novel. The grounds are wonderfully accessible, allowing me to wander and enjoy the beautiful gardens without any hassle.
More personalized assistance at reception would be helpful.

Room had a comfy bed, private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. Loved the access to the outdoor pool and the free spa treatments were amazing for relaxation.

Family friendly oasis in the country
Had a beautiful day relaxing by the outdoor pool, sun shining and drinks being served poolside. The staff were friendly and filled a request for non-alcoholic drinks for my daughter, she appreciated that a lot.
It wasn't exactly cheap but you get what you pay for, I guess.

A Relaxing Getaway with Pleasant Surprises
During my stay, I adored the delicious breakfast buffet, especially the variety of pastries. The friendly staff made check-in a breeze, but I did encounter some service hiccups at the lounge. Opt for higher-floor rooms for added privacy. a lovely experience!
